In the words of the great Tom Haverford, sometimes you just have to “Treat. Yo. Self.” This weekend I completed my first ever 15K (9.3 miles in 1 hour 10 minutes and 16 seconds!) and after running that race, you can be damn sure I was ready to treat myself! So promptly after finishing a post race breakfast of a…
The buffalo chicken wing is an American classic! Can you image watching the Superbowl (or in my case the Superbowl commercials) without wings and beer? America has contributed some great foods to the world’s cuisine (Twinkies, Spam, Cheez Whiz, etc) and buffalo wings are no exception. So grab some nachos, beer, and buffalo chicken wings and…
A good stir fry is more than just an easy dinner. It’s a great way to combine your favorite vegetables and meat with a delicious sauce. And if you’re like me (a single guy who’s too cheap to eat lunch out every day) then it also makes some great leftovers! It heats over well in…
That’s right folks, Edible Engineering is back! It’s been a long hiatus, but my eventful senior year of school robbed me of the time required to write this blog. (You probably don’t believe it due to the poor writing quality and numerous errors, but it actually takes me a while to put these together!)…
Pasta is the ultimate staple food! Not only is it cheap, easy, and filling, it can be prepared in a variety of ways. There’s the classic spaghetti and meatballs, delicious penne alfredo, hearty lasagna, and so much more. So when I heard there was a classic pasta dish involving one of my all time favorite…
Pork chops are perfect for quick and easy meals any day of the week. Good pork chops can be grilled, baked, or fried. However, too many pork chops taste bland, suffer from a tough texture, and curl up in the pan. This recipe shows how to cook pork chops to juicy perfection, keep the chops…
So remember how I was going to be much better about my posts on this blog during the summer? Yea, that was pretty funny. Turns out blogging is difficult when your new apartment doesn’t have internet for two weeks. If you notice new surroundings in the photos on the blog, you’re looking at the kitchen…
One of the things the Food Network has taught me, is that every good chef needs some kind of signature. Can you imagine Gordon Ramsey not screaming “F word” (I can’t write the whole thing, my grandmother reads this blog) or Paula Deen cooking something without butter/cream cheese? (She even stuck to butter after diabetes, now…
Sunday night is Newman night for me. Each week, the RPI Newman Catholic Fellowship gets together to share a home-cooked meal after the 5:00 Mass at the C+CC. When I was a freshmen, the tradition of “food challenges” was born. Whenever there is a large amount of food that no one wants, members of the club challenge…
Chinese food is part of the Brown family culture. Every Christmas Eve, we gather around the table set with our finest Christmas dishes and depression era glassware to feast on roast pork lo mein, sesame chicken, egg rolls and much more. This week I decided to recreate one of my favorite Chinese (but really American) dishes in…
